TABRIZ carpet (Iran)
Mid-20th century.
Wool pile on a cotton backing.
A large medallion in ivory, old gold, navy and cream, featuring a floral motif, and its counterparts, are set against a cherry-red field covered with an intricate pattern of multicoloured floral stems. Four rich diagonal ivory medallions with floral decoration, as well as two baluster vases, embellish the design. The main border features Moorish crenellations in positive and negative patterns, in old gold and navy blue, adorned with ‘tchis’ and foliage. It is flanked by two outer counter-borders—one turquoise with small flowers and the other old gold with a plant motif—and by an inner counter-border featuring a succession of panels and small cream and ivory medallions (in the Kufic style) with floral compositions. Four enormous angular celadon corollas, along with two ivory lateral projections—all six adorned with plant motifs—complete the design. Ruby outer braid. Signature in a small panel. Great elegance.
